Summary
Kakashi Hatake was used to missions where everything was simple: a target, an order, an outcome. The shinobi Academy did not belong on that list. Iruka Umino was used to carrying the fragile, noisy world of children on his own shoulders and to not expecting help. A forced partnership. Reports, students’ tears, and far too much time spent side by side. Trust forms before either of them realizes it, and closeness becomes a threat that cannot be ignored. As long as the lights in the Academy stay on, each of them will have to decide where his line is drawn.
